Postparizhskie sindromy ustoychivogo razvitiya tekhniki nizkikh temperatur

The current situation with working fluids in the refrigeration industry in the coming century is reviewed. Montreal Protocol (1987) on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, Kyoto Protocol (1997) and Paris-2015 Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and discussion on the increase in the global average temperature above preindustrial levels are considered. The Paris-2015 agreement is referred as the main challenge for XXI century for an urgency in the search of conventional environmentally safe working fluids with regard to the optimization of the refrigeration systems performance. Perspectives of the obligation to phase out HCFCs and to very probable phase down of HFCs are discussed. Natural Refrigerants are regarded as opportunity to develop the environmentally best possible alternatives. Keywords: hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, natural refrigerants.
